Not quite. I don't want the user to see any greyed out options. I just want
them NOT TO SEE the options they are not allowed to see.
Skip for clauses are not good in this scenario.
Thanks anyways

Hi Rafael
My Accounts system works on this principle.
I Have a Separate Employee table which holds data relative to the
Employee i.e. Name Address Birth date Start Date Current How many days
holiday they are allowed and how many they have taken etc but also there
login name (What they log into the Computer as, the password and a
privilege level field (PrivLevel) which is numeric from 1 to 9
I have set up a Matrix of Privilege level against form which decides
what menu tabs the employee can see enabled then use s skip for in the
Menu. I.e.
Skip for (Application object).PrivLevel < 5
Is this the sort of thing you are looking for?
I have been looking at hacking the Menu table as the application starts
then recompiling the .mpr before doing the menu.mpr but haven't had the
time to persevere on that line of thought. I did get it working but it
caused too much delay opening the application.
Cheers
Peter

Subject: custom menus
I am trying to develop a menu system geared to the user.
IOW, user A logs in and his/her particular menu appears, which is
different
from user B's menu. This is related to permissions in the menu items.
That
is, for instance, if I have a payroll function in the menu and want one
user
to have full access to all items in the menu, while other users have
limited
access, I just want to develop special menus for each.
My idea is to put all pads, popups and menu bars in a table and have
another
one with users like this:
Menu prompt
supervisor
clerk A clerk B
Payroll
x
x
Employees x
x
Employee personal data x
x
Employee salaries data x
etc
In the above example, the supervisor has full access while clerk A can
only
see all data except salaries and clerk B has no access to the payroll
function at all.
Is there anything done along these lines, so I won't have to spend time
"re-inventing the wheel" ?
Can you share ideas, or code or classes or whatever?
TIA
